Jan-Willem is a physicist who after his PhD started his research group in an academic hospital. Using his background in experimental physics, he develops novel technologies to enable MRI for ocular conditions and apply them clinically.
After his obtaining his master’s degree in Medical Physics, Corné started his PhD as part of the COMPOSE project to develop techniques to accurately combine optical fundus imaging with MRI. He is one of the active maintainers of ZOSPy.
Since 2015, Martijn works as a medical physics engineer specialized in image-guided radiotherapy. In 2023, he started as a PhD on clipless ocular proton therapy, together with the HollandPTC, and, more specifically, on the uncertainties within the current workflow.
After obtaining her master’s in Technical Medicine, Lisa started her PhD aiming to improve ocular proton treatment planning with MRI. She combines research with patient care as a clinical technologist at HollandPTC.
After his training as a medical doctor, Lennart went on to pursue his PhD working on MRI-based eye modelling and radiotherapy treatment planning, including NTCP modeling of the eye’s healthy structures.
After earning his medical degree with a keen interest in Ophthalmology, Michael started his PhD, evaluating the clinical benefits MRI for uveal melanoma.
After obtaining her Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering, track Medical Physics, Iris started her PhD as part of the COMPOSE project. She will work on accurately incorporating MR-images in ocular radiotherapy planning.
As a radiotherapy lab technician, Anna is specialized in treatment planning. In addition to her clinical duties, she assists in the development and evaluation of MRI-based ocular proton therapy planning.
With an interest in Ophthalmology and Radiation Oncology, Pieter started his research internship, as part of his medical training, focusing on the reproducibility of functional MRI in Uveal Melanoma.
As members of the Leiden Ocular Tumor Center, we have tight interactions with both clinicians and scientists. These collaborations allows us to achieve a swift translation from technical development to societal impact.
